frosts set up

[skaterrjamez]

hey i have just got my herb up to 92 :)

 

and wondering what is my set up for frosts?

 

considering im at 97 range (18k until 98) is it worth to go range cause im keen on 99.

or just go melee?

 

edit: im pretty broke after herb and need money for summoning.

Here is a video link to the guide I used when I was kiling frosts with war tort;

 

you'll need a cannon and I suggest melee. NOTE DONT LEAVE YOUR CANNON THERE, TAKE IT WITH YOU EVERY TRIP

[Agen]

Bring 1 super anti (4), 1 overload, 3 pray pots. Full bandos + soulwars cape / other obvious gear like neitz helm and barrows gloves etc. If you find 3 full pray pots don't last you long enough bring super prays or another regular prayer pot.

 

The trip should take less than 20 minutes with a tort, and especially with overloads + turmoil so feel free to leave cannon there inbetween trips because you'll have plenty of time to get back before it decays. If you can Soul Split flash well then do that and bring like 1-4 sharks/1 full brew as safety or bring 4-8 sharks if you're not confident with your flashing. Reason I suggest sharks over brew is because they cost less just to drop if you run out of space.

 

I'd say home teletab to bank/restore pray at home and relekka slayer dungeon via slayer ring to get to fairy rings fast.

I do pretty much this but swap the overload for extremes, overloads do not help much and the cost isn't worth it. (As a rule of thumb, only use overloads when you'll be brew healing)

Everything else he says is dead on, although you'll often have trips of 15 minutes or less at your levels with rapier. Food is not important at all but as he says you'd be wise to bring 3-4 sharks just incase you make a mistake. Soulsplit flick to heal.

 

It's pretty good stable money (2m profit/hour with tort) but it's certainly not the best thing you can do at your level.

[Quyneax]

As a rule of thumb, use overloads unless your're maging in single combat, or unless you don't want to train herblore.

 

If you want 99 ranged I'd say it's definitely worth ranging frosts, using a handcannon (you're 99 firemaking :thumbup:) and elite void ranged, with a soul wars cape, amulet of ranging, glaiven/ranger's/snakeskin boots, ring of wealth (ranged accuracy doesn't do as much & I don't think you have archer (i)), praying rigour/eagle eye and protect magic. With rigour, extreme ranged/overload, void and handcannon you can hit 600s at long range, which helps with luring - your kills/hr will be very close to melee.

Well... I use the cheap method for killing frost drags

My set up is this

 

Supplies

C balls

House teletab

super set (4)

Antifire (4)

1 ppot (4)

1 war tort

cannon stuff

1 shark for mistake

Energy pots(x) (not mandatory but recommended)

 

Stats

max melee

92 pray for ss

67 sum for war tort

 

Gear

tassets

torso

f cape

nezzy helm

d boots

b gloves

ring of wealth

glory

rapier

 

Soul split flashing is key,

I use no quick prays, and i rely on just the pray tab.

I pray mage and berserker, no turmoil/leech/sap prays needed.

 

If you're 400hp or below dont bother risking it to kill more frosts, just telly and bank/heal up and go back.

 

Sidenotes

I use about 300 cballs per run and you dont quite finish your last dose of your super set. so drink it when you have about 6-8 invy spaces left, and also you have an extra ppot dose left, i would recomend just drinking it anyways because you're just getting a frost dragon bone which is more than that obviously...

Even if your hp is at 900 keep soul split flashing, you want to keep safing.

You dont need an alter/summ obby in your house because theres already one on the way there

Glory is ok

Bring normal energy pots for the way there (1-2 depending on your agility level)

sometimes collecting enough deaths/bloodrunes/coins is good, to the point where it costs more than 1 frost drag bone

And thats about it....

When I range frosts I use this set-up...

 

Elite void w/ Deflector and Arma chest

Ccbow

Diamond bolts (e)

Glaiven boots

Avas device

Fury

 

Extreme range, rigour and cannon make the kills faster. If you use eee for its healing spec and keep an eye on what attack style (rnage/range) the dragon is using. If you are good with your switches and dont hit too high on the blue orb spec you should be fine for healing.

 

I have left my cannon in the room whilst banking since the update and it dosnt seem to instantly decay anymore.

 

Dont forget super antifire.
